Abstract：Objective To evaluate the curative effects of renal or upper ureteral stones treated by means of minimal invasive percutaneous nephrolithotripsy(mPCNL). Methods Totally 86 cases of patients were treated with mPCNL and their clinical data were reviewed retrospectively. Results Seventy-two patients were rendered stone-free at 1 session; 13 patients were rendered stone-free at 2 session; 1 patient were rendered stone-free at 3 session. Seventy-eight cases were operated through single-road ;8 cases were operated through double-road. The stone free rate was 88.5% ;the average time of operation was 106 min; the average time of the nephrostomy tube was 7 days; the average hospitalization was 15 days ;the renal cortex of I ease was tore apart during operation and intraoperative blood transfusion and open surgery were needed;the double-J of 1 case could not be put into bladder through ureter; the stones were cleared off in 9 cases by ESWL after mPCNL. Conclusion Minimal invasive porcutaneous nephrdithotripsy is safe and effective in treating renal or upper ureteral stones ;compared to traditional PCNL,it may offer advantages with respect to less invasion and easy recovery.
